The death rate is probably low because kids haven't been exposed so they haven't gotten it as much. Plus we have no idea what the long term side effects could be, for anyone much less children. It could be nothing, or it could be debilitating. At my age, it would suck but wouldn't be as big of a deal if I had issues long term. But when you're 8 or 9? That's very different.
I hope your mom does OK. Hopefully she wasn't near them for long enough to have been infected. Ironically, my mom died last year of a heart attack - so I don't have to worry about it at least. :|
